Fat Baby Seal Rescued From Double Strap

[@BanaiFeldstein]

I love how the seals are just lounging around the walkway when you're on it, but as soon as you jump over or walk off of it, they go running. Danger on the sand, a-ok on the wood.

[@RL-RL]

That was a great and fast save! Now everyone can relax and go back to resting. Thank you Antoine for saving this Chunk from it's demise and now once free again!

[@Kuklapolitan]

Good morning Tony! I am laughing at the seal that is right in front of you. He's checking to see if you're really coming before he bolts off...watch this video because I'm sure you haven't noticed him. As soon as you made the slightest movement he turned...then stopped and turned to look again and then WHOOSH...he was ready to go. What a smart little guy!

[@angelitabecerra]

28 seals and now onto number 29... Not only have y'all saved their lives, but their progeny, and therefore the life and health of the colonies. Thank y'all so much for the work y'all do with so much love, kidness, caring, compassion, determination, strength, courage, and sheer force of will 💪🏽💖

[@josephking6515]

*Thank You all* so very much for what you are doing to save the seals. 👍👍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for your kind words! This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

👏You guys were busy that day! #29: A feisty pup, who can grow into a strong adult seal, now that he's freed from that strap. Thanks Antoine for giving him that chance!💕🦭

Pups sleeping so calmly next to their mothers. Most of them have just had a healthy meal. Lets hope most of them reach adult age.

Feisty. At least you found them before those straps started cutting into them.

[@SonnetsMom]

🙏🦭🙏 One more life saved !! thank you Tony, and the rest of your team OCN, for bringing awareness to the tragic destruction of wildlife Man has created 🥺😡🥺 .. and especially for your dedication and heroic efforts to save (& reverse?) as much of the “damage” you see❣️ God bless you all always and keep you safe 🥰 🇨🇦

[@marykuga4589]

To be a member of Greenpeace I would imagine you have to be tough. A lot of challengers you have to combat Tony, yet when you have a seal to be rescued, you turn into a sweet, loving Teddy Bear. 🥰🥰💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@cynicalafflictional1725]

Yes!!! God Bless you all!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for your kind words! While we’re deeply committed to helping the seals, we know our work is just a small part of a much bigger battle. Our rescues highlight the urgent need to address the root causes of ocean pollution-like our reliance on single-use plastics and the gaps in law enforcement and recycling efforts.

You're looking for the chunky pup. Next to the brown one. Not that brown one the slightly darker brown one, then the group of lighter brown ones 2m past them...

[@Thea-Sanger1973]

I'm wondering something: I often watch your videos and I really think you do a great job🙏🙏 But how can you tell from such a distance that a seal has something? Like that seal with a hook in its mouth?

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We scan the different groups of Cape fur seals with binoculars from far away, looking for imperfections in their fur. This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

How long does it usually take to spot an entangled seal and/or how much time do you spend before giving up if you don't see one?

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

A patrol is usually three to four hours long.
